·Could potentially be an Atelier Romane, they make some lovely rally straps:

I think you may be spot on.
I also thought it might be this Atelier Romaine Racing Pigskin strap, however I'm not so sure it is.
Looking closely at the holes, the strap that Nicholas is using seems to have larger holes and the placement of the holes is slightly different compared to the Atelier Romane racing strap.

Looks as if isn’t Abel’s lower-priced strap as they start with 2 holes at the watch lug and whilst the more expensive versions starts with a single hole, the ‘large hole’ and ‘small hole’ versions don’t quite match.
They both look very nice options though

·Can I assume that there was nothing noteworthy announced today? TH or otherwise.

·The tachymetre scale in the new 39mm TH glassbox Carrera basically replaces the chapter ring in the Heuer glassbox ones right? And noticed also that the lugs also became a bit “fatter” 😁😜 Need to see this one on the flesh 👍 But I’m not really sure if this will let me bite the bullet 😉

·Ok, here are a few quick side-by-side cell-phone shots. Overall 8/10. Wish the subdials were white.
I still can't see a benefit of having a glassbox crystal, if underneath they put a bezel. I still think a better solution is needed.

·The raised tachymeter on the 39mm's has a strong AP 11.59 vibe to me from the pictures, hope it doesn't look like that in the metal:

Do you feel this resolves the issues with the previous glassbox?

I feel like the very prominent & sloped “rehaut” to the subdials does the overall watch design a disservice. It somehow adds “clutter” to a rather small dial that already has a lot going on… (IMHO, obviously)
As for the tachymeter attached inside the glass (similar to the Connected E4 42mm), it works well in terms of readability, but it does not convince me aesthetically: it makes the dial “closed” compared to the classic glassbox. Of course I like the 60th anniversary panda much more than this new reverse panda

I'm wearing the 60th panda today and I imagine the dial of the new 39mm Carreras will look slightly crowded with the more pronounced hash marks, fatter hour markers and the tachy scale. It has a lot more going on. I expect the Skipper will look a lot more balanced.
